Disembark MSC Meraviglia to train station

[Travel3]

The MSC Meraviglia disembarks at 8am, and the train leaves from Genova Piazza Principe railway station which is a few minutes walk away at 9:20. Do you think this is enough time to make the train. Are there delays typically disembarking?

 

Thank you

Thank you

Last week we were docked well before 08:00, and I was escorted by ore butler through disembarkation and on to our bus to the airport by 08:10. Others were getting off at the time, so I presume they had elected to self- disembark.

disembarkation went very smoothly as far as I could tell

 

The walk is less than 400 yards, I know I've done it myself pulling wheeled suitcases.

So I have no doubt that you will have plenty of time to catch a 09:20 train

I think saying the train station is a few minutes walk is a bit optimistic. Did this journey last week and would suggest a taxi at a set rate of €17.00

€17 pp is the cost of an MSC bus transfer to the airport or €35 for two people in a taxi from airport to cruise terminal , those were the actual prices I paid last week.

 

so i'd say that €17 in a taxi was expensive to go from the cruise terminal to the bus station, unless they take a very round about route to get there

 

it is only about 400 yards from the terminal to the station (Blue line) a little futher if you avoid the steps ( Green sector) by going the alternative red route.

 

Note the scale in the bottom left corner

 

900 feet (300 yards) is all the scale depicts

Well it's only €17pp if you're travelling alone which I wasn't . I was in a party of 4. I probably made an assumption that the OP was in a party as well. €17 is the standard taxi fare from the port to the station. Presumably the taxi cannot take the route in your map.

I need to correct the err in my post

it says

 

taxi was expensive to go from the cruise terminal to the bus station

 

it should read

 

taxi was expensive to go from the cruise terminal to the railway station
